Carmen Rojas and other members of the Education Week Video team share the latest video stories on education issues, including videos developed for PBS Newshour and edweek.org. These features shine a light on best practices in the field as well as challenges facing schools, educators, students, and communities.

The country's largest education technology conference took place in Denver this past week.

Attendees at the annual conference of the International Society for Technology in Education—or ISTE—were searching for guidance on how technology might meet their classroom needs, and how it may shape their work in the years to come.

While at ISTE, a gathering that draws educators and ed-tech companies from around the world, Education Week's Sean Cavanaghasked K-12 officials Benjie Brown, Chad Kafka, and Jamie Chanter, about challenges schools face in adopting educational technology.

Educators often cite a big gap between the lofty ideas put forward by pioneering teachers and vendors at industry events and the throngs of other educators who are still trying to figure out what digital strategies make sense for them.

Cavanagh spoke with teachers, and the administrators who work closely with them, about the biggest hurdles educators face in trying to figure out how best use technology with their students.
